    Default Need help STUCK

    I need to ask if the user wants to add another product receive a yes or no and run the loop again? Also I need to count the products and add the prices together to figure an average?
        private double computeAverageSales() {
            WebHost webHost;
            double average = 0;
            int counter = 0;
            double total = 0;
            boolean again = true;
            double webHostPrice = 0;
     
            System.out.println("Enter 0 to end");
     
     
     
     
                System.out.println("Please enter the price of the new package: $");
                webHostPrice = scanner.nextDouble();
     
                while (true){
                for (int i = 0; i <= 0; i++) {
                    if (webHostPrice == 0) {
                        break;
                    } else if (webHostPrice <= -1) {
                        System.out.println("Please enter a positive number!");
                    } else if (webHostPrice >= 500) {
                        System.out.println("Are you sure that seems a little high!");
                    } else if (webHostPrice == 0){
                    break;
                }   
     
                    System.out.println("Please enter the product ID ");
                    int webHostId = scanner.nextInt();

                } // end for statement
                average = total / (counter - 1);
                return average;
                } // end while statement
        }

    I know the code is messing but that is because I have worked 4 days on this I am a newbie any suggestions is much appreciated!

    Can you explain what problems you are having with the code? What did you try and what happened?

    sorry autocorrect will respond in 30 minutes from my work

    --- Update ---

    Welcome to the Web Host Ordering System

    Enter 0 to end
    Please enter the price of the new package: $
    150
    Please enter the product ID
    312
    What is the product name:
    sh1
    Please enter the required Bandwidth needed for your site?
    1024
    How many FTP accounts do you need?
    1
    How many email accounts do you need? 1
    What is your domain name? mytms.co
    Would you like to add another product?

    The average sales is: $-0.0

    BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 22 seconds)

    This is what I get after I run it no option to run again and the average should have been $150 instead -0.0

    Where is the average calculated? Why is the value that is printed 0.0?
    Try debugging the code by adding some println() statements to the code that prints outs the values of the variables use to calculate the average. The print outs will help you find where the program is going wrong.

    Look at the code and find where the average variable is given a value. Add a call to the println() method to print out the values of all the variables that are used to compute average. A sample println():
    System.out.println("theVariableName "+ theVariableNameHere);
    when the program is executed the print out will show you what the contents of the variables were when the println was executed. That will help you understand why average is 0
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
